Your funeral, your way
From birthdays, to weddings, christenings and anniversaries, we plan our life events to reflect who we are. Why should our final send-off be any different? With a direct cremation, you can say goodbye your own way, with a practical, lower cost alternative to a traditional funeral.
For a simple, dignified, unattended local cremation
The Golden Charter Basic Plan provides a way to make arrangements and pay in advance for a simple, direct cremation, without the ceremony or expense associated with a traditional funeral.
This type of ‘cremation-only’ plan is becoming popular with customers who don’t want a traditional funeral, but do want to make their wishes known. And because the Basic Plan doesn’t include a funeral service or the typical elements of a traditional funeral, such as a procession or a limousine, it’s also more affordable.
A no-fuss alternative to a traditional funeral
When you’re choosing a direct cremation plan, it can be a great comfort to know that all of the arrangements are taken care of locally – including the cremation itself. That’s the certainty the Basic Plan can offer you, and your family.
It’s important to remember that our Basic Plan only provides for an unattended direct cremation. It doesn’t include any kind of funeral service and the location, date and time of the cremation itself will be decided by the funeral director.
If you want to be prepared for the future, you can opt for our Basic Plan or choose from our wider range of funeral plans which include a funeral service.
